A long-time Sweet Adeline from Houston, Texas (USA), Marti Lovejoy saw a need for all Sweet Adelines to have a way to communicate with each other, and established the Sweet Adelines Internet Networking Group (SING List) in 2000. This web group and email distribution list provided the earliest social media platform for Sweet Adelines worldwide. Since 2002, thanks to donations from members of this group, Marti has helped raise approximately $140,000 USD for the Young Singers Foundation and the Young Women in Harmony program.
